St. Helena Parish


Summary:

The St. Helena Parish school district in Louisiana consists of 3 schools: 2 elementary schools (St. Helena Arts and Technology Academy and St. Helena Early Learning Center) and 1 high school (St. Helena College and Career Academy). Unfortunately, the data paints a concerning picture of the academic performance and challenges faced by these schools.

The St. Helena College and Career Academy high school has consistently low performance, ranking in the bottom 10% of Louisiana high schools for the past 3 years. Its test scores are significantly below the state and parish averages across multiple subjects and grade levels. The school has a very high percentage of African American students (91.38%) and a high free/reduced lunch rate (91.99%), indicating a high-need student population. Similarly, the St. Helena Arts and Technology Academy elementary school also performs below state and parish averages on most test scores, with a high percentage of African American students (89.57%) and a high free/reduced lunch rate (87.73%).

Across all 3 schools, the data shows consistently low performance, with the schools performing significantly below the state and parish averages on LEAP and End-of-Course (EOC) assessments. The schools serve a predominantly African American and economically disadvantaged student population, which likely contributes to the academic challenges they face. Addressing these issues will likely require a multi-faceted approach, including targeted interventions, increased resources, and a deeper examination of the underlying factors contributing to the district's struggles.
